Fine, I will reluctantly choose the Red Sox and self-loathingly defeat all comers

Budgets mean anyone over 25 years old will not get picked in the first round, which means they are bad, because old and fat gentlemen are the most important players.

It wouldn't be the first time an Oriole randomly hit 50 home runs in a season and then never came close to repeating it.

Can someone explain the logic of Iwakuma over Tanaka?

Better (i.e., any) track record in the majors? I have no idea what the projections said about Tanaka before the season.

Weaver can't be the last ace, because the ace of the Minnesota Twins, Nick Punto, is still available.

Real world? Not even close. OOTP I'm not sure. Tigers claimed they'd use him at C in NL parks this year, I think that lasted 2 games.

Well they've only played 5 games in NL parks, so that's a pretty good percentage! But realistically, Martinez is a bad catcher and a good first baseman, so I think you'll see more of Cabrera moving to third than Martinez catching in the future.

.330 is like league-average OBP now, Billy Hamilton is not gonna sniff it.

.322 is average in the AL this season.

I like how I keep picking players right before the run on their position ends.

That means you got the last good one. Lucky!

drat, I was hoping Alex Guerrero would fall a bit farther, because Cubans are the best players.

Pecota did project Sano for a .270 true average (which is above average) in 95 PA. In terms of an OOTP sim, there's a chance he could improve over the course of the season. It projected Pederson and Lindor would be much worse at the plate.

I just looked up Sano's ZIPS projection and it has him with a .227 average, 30 home runs, and 35% strikeouts. That's some vintage Mark Reynolds poo poo, except with fewer walks.

He's not even a top prospect how do you even know him

It wasn't me, but he keeps popping up on the opposing teams in my RTTS game and the announcers call him "Tommy LaSorda" so he's very memorable.

There's one guy who I'm kind of surprised hasn't been taken yet, even though I know he'll probably be terrible in the game, and frankly, should be in real life too.
